Stolen car driver runs from scene after colliding with pick-up

St. Louis (KSDK) -- Police investigating a traffic crash in north St. Louis Monday morning say the vehicle that collided with a pick-up truck was stolen.

That would explain why the driver of the stolen Jeep Cherokee ran from the scene after the incident according to police who were investigating the crash on Leffingwell Avenue at the corner of Washington.

Police say the victim who was struck was not hurt in the collision, despite the man's pick-up truck jumping the curb and bouncing into the corner of a building.

The victims dog, who was riding inside the cab of the truck, was not injured.
